SmartUse

SmartUse is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand SmartUse rather than just read about it. In short: SmartUse is a collaborative construction software. The solution offers a touch friendly mobile app who helps construction projects to move in a paperless environment through features like field markups, photos and issues tracking.

Key takeaways

SmartUse belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect SmartUse to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of SmartUse from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

SmartUse is a collaborative construction software. The solution offers a touch friendly mobile app who helps construction projects to move in a paperless environment through features like field markups, photos and issues tracking. SmartUse is a privately held company based in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 2012 by Dominic Sévigny, the company was sold to Newforma in 2014 and re-acquired in September 2017 by the original founder and Louis Dagenais. SmartUse is available on Windows since 2012 and on iPad since 2016.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with SmartUse

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what SmartUse claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to SmartUse before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about SmartUse ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of SmartUse

In research: SmartUse appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses SmartUse in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: SmartUse is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Construction software, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for SmartUse outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is SmartUse in simple terms?

Why does SmartUse matter?

Because it connects several computer science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study SmartUse?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
